Cyber Academy Webinar: Risk vs Reward | Strategically Adjusting Response for Critical Needs

Ransomware incidents often force organizations to make difficult decisions under extraordinary pressure. While standard digital forensics and incident response methodologies are designed to preserve evidence, contain threats, and support legal compliance, operational realities frequently require organizations to weigh business continuity against investigative best practices.

This program explores the risks and rewards of deviating from traditional incident response processes during a cybersecurity event. Through practical case studies and hypothetical scenarios, attendees will examine how recovery decisions can affect forensic investigations, legal and regulatory obligations, contractual commitments, and overall business resilience. Participants will also learn strategies for balancing operational demands with investigative integrity, enabling organizations to make informed, risk-based decisions during high-pressure cyber incidents.

Speakers - Lynda Jensen and Thomas Padgett, Director, DFIR, Irongate
